But now with 8.2 I get the following error and have no idea why. I installed using pkg_add mysql55-server command. # /usr/local/bin >mysql_install_db --user=mysql FATAL ERROR: Could not find ./bin/my_print_defaults If you compiled from source, you need to run 'make install' to copy the software into the correct location ready for operation. If you are using a binary release, you must either be at the top level of the extracted archive, or pass the --basedir option pointing to that location. # /usr/local/bin >locate my_print_defaults /usr/local/bin/my_print_defaults
